Responsible for shooting down the largest number of German bombers during the Battle of Britain, it was also flown by Polish pilots of Squadron 303, as well as Canadian, New Zealand, and Australian units. Beyond the Western Front, it was also used in the Middle East and in the USSR under lend-lease.
